Patient's question:
I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there is also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Please ask: What are the treatment methods for prostate calcification?Doctor's answer:
Prostatic calcification is the scar left behind by recurrent inflammation of the prostate, serving as a precursor to prostatic calculi and a common complication of chronic prostatitis. The calcified foci in the prostate are hiding places for bacteria, and treatments such as medication and microwave therapy cannot completely eliminate them. This is one of the reasons why chronic prostatitis tends to recur and is difficult to resolve. The vast majority of patients with advanced prostatitis have fibrotic plaques. It is recommended to seek prompt medical attention at a reputable urological hospital for thorough examination and treatment.
